148 4-Prong:

(which, judging by the people posting here, are in the 50-60 year old uncle range, back when UH football was a premiere social event where people came together and built communities).

Nope not me.

I’m not an uncle.

Nor am I 50-60 years old just yet.

And hey, if you are 50-60 years old, you ARE very much indeed lucky! Yahoo!!!

Yep; many in this world never make it there!

158.

Well a good example for the need of that many quality scholarship QBs would be this year. Two of our QBs are out with injuries already and another was injured and starting to recover. Had his injury been any worst, they would have been forced to play our 4th stringer. So yeah I think having that many QBs is a good idea. Plus it strengthens the competition for the starting job.

The question of the morning is, when will the good ST show up? Still waiting for ST’s “Ding, Ding.”

RE: #149

oneseason — I buy one bottle of water at the stadium. Which reminds me that during the Hurricane Iselle scare, a photo on Facebook showed a local store selling a case of 16-oz bottle water for around $33. Subsequent news is that the store is being investigated for price gouging.

At the stadium, a 16-oz bottle of water is $2.50. Letseee… 24 bottles per case @ $2.50 = $60.

bc the offense will continue to be terrible until we find a legit QB. obviously Woolsey is not the answer, long-term. Reilly is more of an athlete and many project him at a position besides QB. Wittek has 1 year of eligibility left and maybe he looks good in practice, but he has yet to be good in a game. im not counting on Zwahlen who is returning from mission. who knows how good he’ll be.

but fine, Norm can continue this terrible offensive output and rely on BCS benchwarmers to run our offense.

#157. The odds makers seem to think the “good Woolsey” will show up at home.

153… UH will have, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe IW, Wittek, Reilly, and Zwahlen scheduled for scholarships next year. I believe Prater is a walk-on if my memory is correct.

The issue regarding lack of QB recruiting news for 2015 is a numbers issue. UH is scheduled to have 4 scholarship QBs in 2015. Does is make sense for a football team to spend 5 or more scholarships on a position group that only has one player on the field? I think its crazy for a team to have more than 4 scholarship QBs because you need those scholarships for other position groups. Why do you need 4 scholarships sitting on the bench.

Essentially, Wittek, Zwahlen and Reilly are the 2015 recruiting class. Wittek doesn’t become eligible until 2015, Zwahlen doesn’t arrive until 2015 (and presumably needs time to get readjusted to football life again), and Reilly was originally slated to red-shirt and be ready in 2015.

If somebody transfers or Zwahlen ends up somewhere else (LDS missionaries can be free agents… i.e. Beau Reilly), then it opens up a spot for a new recruit.

Coaches can rescind scholarships but I think that will backfire from a PR standpoint, especially for a coach that hasn’t been winning.
